Expected behavior for importNode,cloneNode

[timeu]

I am not sure if this is by design and/or if it is a Polymer or rather a general Web-Components spec issue.

When I use importNode or cloneNode with deep=true of a custom-element that contains another custom element (via Light DOM) and then insert it into the document, the resulting DOM structure is not the same as if I would create it manually.

See the jsbin: http://jsbin.com/haxeni/edit?html,console

Thanks for posting this. This is a known limitation that comes with using Shady DOM. We need to add support for importNode and cloneNode to the Polymer.dom api to address this. At that point, you'll use Polymer.dom(element).cloneNode and Polymer.dom(element).importNode.

Marking this high priority since we plan to add these api's very soon.

Great thanks for the feedback.

After further investigation, separate issue #2010 is opened.
